Yup. Some people just lose all dignity when they lose a fight, and there isn't so much you can do about that.

Basically, you can say a couple things and see if the person is just going to rant/lecture/whatever in a vaguely OOC manner. Most people won't, and you can do something there. If they do, just go on with your business, and don't worry too much about that character in the future. But generally as the victor you have a better opportunity to initiate some decent RP there.

It needn't be friendly in an IC sense, of course. Creative taunting or gloating can be fun for both sides as long as it's not the "OMG! PWND!" variety.
